Dicyanophthalates 3 were synthesized via Pd-catalyzed two-fold cyanation of the corresponding 4,5-dichlorophthalates with Zn(CN)(2), Appropriate modification of reaction conditions allowed one-pot synthesis of the corresponding zinc phthalocyanines 7 bearing eight peripheral alkyl ester groups. Powder X-ray diffraction study of a mesogenic zinc phthalocyanine bearing branched alkyl substituents revealed a rare case of a transition between two columnar rectangular liquid crystalline mesophases with different symmetry.
